I love this show. I'm trying to see how I can use it next year with my
middle schoolers too.

Subject: Work of Art on Bravo & Altered Books
Cheri-I actually watched that show and thought it would make a cool
lesson, too! The show reminded of my best (unfettered creativity) and
worst (garbled, over-intellectualized crits and the "mean but
talented") memories of art school...Also, about altered books: giving
a rubric before the end of the project has helped my (elementary)
students put more thought and effort into their projects.
